Well, you have people like Marjorie Taylor Smith and others of her ilk on the House side, you know, they -- what can I say?

Not at all. They're still totally afraid of former President Trump. It's just amazing. So they've handed over all this power to Trump to continue to hold sway over them. It's more than pathetic, it is cowardly.

I ask unanimous consent to speak for 2 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

It's just as you say, it's their pursuit of herd immunity for what happened on January 6th. They're closing their eyes, ears, everything to what happened.

I think that you are probably quite unique in how you have very strategically managed your company so that you are able to maximize your participation in the 8(a) program, so I commend you.

historically the amount of funding that a grantee gets is dependent entirely on how much Congress provides

I especially want to thank Senator Collins and her staff for working with me to authorize the CDBG-DR program.

We look forward to receiving your technical assistance on this particular question, because I worry a little bit that Congress is just going to say, there shall be coordination, and then assume that it is going to occur.

I want to thank everybody for coming today to discuss this critical topic.

I am hoping that you will consider expanding the scope of the Tribal Health Research Office to include native Hawaiians.
